Engineered for Efficiency and Production Flexibility

Designed for PCB headers; mass termination connectors pre-loaded with contacts; crimp-snap contacts and housings; and card edge connectors with pre-loaded contacts, TE Mass Termination Assembly (MTA) tooling delivers crimping reliability and efficiency. Our interchangeable crimp heads allow you to flexibly switch from manual tools (50-100 crimps per day) to power-assisted bench units (200+ crimps per day) depending on your production volume requirements.
